Old Posts and Praises

So many of my old followers may know that I have had this blog for a LONG time! I've experimented with it and changed it at least 4 times over, starting again and again. Each time with completely new aims and ideas... but it was the reason I got accepted into AMFI and also the reason I was featured in the online DISFunkshion Magazine all those years back.

I used to do styling shoots using my sister as the model with surprisingly great outcomes. Unfortunately I have lost most of the images from these shoots but the image above is a one taken by myself that was featured on the online magazine. I also took images of myself wearing clothes from (at the time) less well-known brands that e-mailed me about my posts and often asked me to join their blogging groups and competitions. Below are some of my old outfit posts, some of which are still available on the blog today!

If it wasn't for this blog I don't think I would be living in Amsterdam right now studying in one of the top fashion schools in the world. I'm glad I was inspired to start the blog again and this time it's here to stay!

Love,

CHECK MATE - OOTD

 

The check pattern is one of my all time favourite trends. I practically live in any kind of checkered item so when I saw these statement trousers, from daisystreet.co.uk I fell in love! Not only are they super, super affordable (only £17.99) but they are amazing quality! The peek-a-boo lace detail at the bottom, I think, ties them together. I never usually settle for trousers, as I'm quite fussy about the shape and length of them, so these were kind of a one-off  purchase for me. I always find that when buying cigarette or tapered style trousers that they do not flatter my figure and they adrubtly stop before my ankles which is something I have never been keen on for some reason. However these trousers finished with the lace which makes them perfect for heels and the legs are skinny so they flatter my shape.

 

Due to these being statement trousers it means you can put simple accessorys together as well as a basic top which is how I have carried out this outfit. I didn't want to take the focus off the trousers so a basic, baby pink Primark top and a cream woven clutch bag went perfectly to create a classy evening outfit! For a daytime outfit they would go perfectly with an oversized, black jumper and studded flats, for an edgey look. I love the fact that these trousers can be worn for any setting as they are comfortable yet smart, a statement piece adaptable for any occasion. 



Peek-a-boo lace that ties the trousers together!

Summer Wish List

It's getting up to the time of the Summer when I need to start deciding what I want to take on holiday with me. However, I never make it that simple for myself. I am the type that needs to have loads - and I mean LOADS - of new things before I go away. Make that an entirely new wardrobe. Yes, I get obsessed. So I have been doing some online window shopping and I thought you would like to see my holiday wish list - so far. 

This is only a selection of items that I have added to my wish list. I just need to wait till I get paid now. 

Oh before I go I have featured a brand on my wish list called Declared. I really recommend you go and check them out at http://declared.bigcartel.com/ They have some amazing stuff. Slogan T's and crazy accessories. Some really great stuff. Check out my faves below. 

Splish, Splosh, Splash - Krazy Kimonos

Kool overalls for a day at the beach or a chilly night at a restaurant on the harbour. Kimonos are the perfect holiday overall. 

If any of you are going away this Summer have an amazing time!

Thanks,

Rachel xo
